LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY #1543

These were the "Balloon Cars" of the high speed Interurban, multiple unit, electric trains of Southern California's Pacific Electric, the famous "Big Red Cars". This car made it's last run April 6.1961, from Los Angeles, 6th and Main (where now stands a bus terminal) to Long Beach, CA at Ocean and Long Beach Blvd. just a block from The Pike. There was an elevated wooden trestle that allowed it to bridge dense downtown automotive traffic, then it came down to street level just short of Alameda and curved South to Long Beach Avenue. When it got to Clement's Junction (Washington Street) the roadbed opened up to four tracks, on the outside was the South and North bound Local Service using smaller cars. The interior pair of the four track sets was reserved for strings of these heavy, high speed electric commuter trains. The private right of way was four tracks through Watts and down to Long Beach Blvd., where these cars would then ride down the center of the street to downtown Long Beach. Another line branched from the end of four track operation at Willow, and rocked on down to Electric Avenue in Seal Beach, past Signal Hill, the Lagoon and Alamitos Bay.

The curious round windows on the end earned the cars their nickname and were the portholes for the motorman operator.

The wind up knob to the left of the end door was attached by rope to the hot shoe end of the trolley pole pickup the operator could open the door and adjust the pole or reel it in and let up the one on the other end to change direction, the end doors were for train crew only and were not used to communicate passengers between cars.

At first, when I was a child, I thought that these were batteries. They are sequential banks of resistor windings and vented to dump a great amount of heat. When the coach is at rest, it draws the most amount of current, and curiously, the next least amount of current is drawn at top speed. There was an electric motor connected by a gear to the axle and that axle completed the electric ground of 600 Volts, direct current. If that motor was connected directly to the line, the wheels would spin instantly but the coach would go nowhere. These resistors pictured were each connected to a switch terminal under the motorman’s handle so that, at first, all of the resistors were connected, drawing the most current and heating them all up like a toaster. As the motorman's handle was successively turned to a "higher speed" then fewer of these resistors would be engaged, until, at top speed, there was a direct connection from the line, through the motors to ground.

Silly me, why would they need batteries? These Big Red Cars are connected overhead to a 600V, extension cord carrying hugely immense current, enough to start a train, that is many miles long!

(Now, how do I connect household lamps, light bulbs, without them exploding when they are screwed in?)

Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018

10/12/18 to 02/03/19

Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.

Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden

Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.

How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

A SLAVE NO MORE

Two Men Who Escaped to Freedom, Including Their Own Narratives of Emancipation

By David W. Blight

NEW YORK TIMES

Freedom Just Ahead: The War Within the Civil War

By WILLIAM GRIMES, Published: December 5, 2007

The chaos of Civil War meant only one thing to America’s four million slaves: hope. With armies on the march, and the old social order crumbling, men like John Washington and Wallace Turnage seized the moment and made a break for freedom, issuing their own emancipation proclamations before the fact. They were “quiet heroes of a war within the war to destroy slavery,” as David W. Blight puts it in “A Slave No More.”

Both Washington and Turnage, near contemporaries, wrote vivid accounts of their lives as slaves and the bold bids for freedom that took them across Confederate lines and into the waiting arms of Union soldiers. Recently discovered, both texts have been reproduced by Mr. Blight as written, with misspellings and grammatical errors intact.

Mr. Blight, a professor of American history at Yale and the author of “Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory,” has also provided an extended preface that provides historical context, fills in biographical gaps and extends the life stories of both men past the Civil War, when their manuscripts break off abruptly, to their deaths in the early 20th century. Two remarkable lives, previously lost, emerge with startling clarity, largely through the words of the principal actors themselves.

Washington, born in 1838, grew up in Fredericksburg, Va., and stayed there, in servitude to the widow of his master, after being separated from his mother and four younger siblings at 12. Unlike Turnage, who labored on an Alabama plantation and suffered constant whippings, Washington lived a town life, running errands or enduring hours of enforced idleness and staring longingly out the window.

In 1861 he was hired out to a tobacco factory in Richmond and got his first glimpse of Confederate troops, so many, he wrote, “that it appeard to be an impossiability, to us, colored people, that they could ever be conquord.” Soon, though, he began hearing of slaves making their way to the Union lines and freedom. Once back in Fredericksburg, where he worked as a hotel steward and barkeep, he decided to join their number.

Washington’s narrative captures both turmoil and nervous excitement as Union forces closed in on Fredericksburg, bayonets glinting across the Rappahannock River, their movements eagerly watched by black residents. Washington, in a characteristically sardonic aside, notes: “No one could be seen on the street but the colored people. and every one of them seemed to be in the best of humors.”

In the confusion Washington escaped to the Union lines. “I told them I was most happy to see them all that I had been looking for them for a long time,” he writes. When a Union soldier asks if he wants to be free, Washington answers simply, “by all means.”

In Alabama, Turnage met his oppressors with open defiance. He fought with bullwhip-wielding overseers, suffered repeated whippings and beatings and lit out for freedom repeatedly. Running for miles across creeks and through fields, cleverly talking his way out of tight spots and, more than once, fighting off enraged dogs, Turnage, a mere teenager, evaded pursuers for weeks at a time, enduring extreme deprivation.

“I went as long as four days without anything to eat but one hickery nut that the squirrels did not get,” he writes of one escapade.

Among other things, Turnage’s testimony sheds light on the support network among slaves, nearly all more than willing to feed or conceal a runaway, or provide information on how to evade capture on the road ahead. “They gloried in my spunk,” Turnage writes of a group of slaves who hid him at one plantation.

His final flight, from Mobile to the Union ships anchored offshore, caps his thrilling tale. After nonchalantly walking straight through a Confederate camp and wading barefoot through snake-infested swamps, he reaches an impasse, with Confederate pickets behind him and a broad expanse of water ahead of him.

“It was death to go back and it was death to stay there and freedom was before me,” he writes. He pressed forward and, by luck, found a rickety little boat on the shore.

“I Now dreaded the gun, and handcuffs and pistols no more,” he writes of his moment of deliverance, when Yankee sailors plucked him from Mobile Bay. “Nor the blewing of horns and the running of hounds; nor the threats of death from the rebel’s authority. I could now speak my opinion to men of all grades and colors, and no one to question my right to speak.”

Washington made his way to Washington, where he and his wife, whom he took from Fredericksburg, rose to middle-class prosperity. He died in 1918.

Turnage worked, at various times, as a janitor, sign painter, watchman and glass blower in New York. Eventually he moved to Jersey City, where he died in 1916.

By that time, slavery and the war were distant memories. In their all-too-brief narratives, Washington and Turnage, as Mr. Blight notes, offer a precious commodity: “unfiltered access to the process and the moment of emancipation.”

1. Ogni parola di Dio è un’espressione della Sua indole by Marna Turino

1. Ogni parola di Dio è un’espressione della Sua indole

Hu Ke Città di Dezhou, Provincia dello Shandong

Ogniqualvolta vedevo queste parole pronunciate da Dio mi sentivo ansiosa: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio. Fareste bene a ponderare attentamente le Mie parole, e ne trarrete di certo grande profitto” (“È molto importante comprendere l’indole di Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Mi sentivo ansiosa perché capire l’indole di Dio è fondamentale per l’uomo, sia per la sua comprensione di Dio, sia nel suo cercare di amarLo e soddisfarLo. Ma quando mangiavo e bevevo delle parole di Dio, avevo sempre la sensazione che la Sua indole fosse troppo astratta e io non sapessi come comprenderla. Successivamente, attraverso la condivisione da parte del mio leader, ho appreso che avrei dovuto capire ciò che piace a Dio e ciò che Egli odia dalle Sue parole, e in tal modo arrivare a comprendere la Sua indole. Di conseguenza, ho provato a metterlo in pratica per qualche tempo e ho visto dei risultati. Tuttavia ero ancora perplessa riguardo alle parole di Dio, “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio” e non avevo idea di come intenderle esattamente.

Un giorno ho letto queste parole in un sermone: “L’indole di Dio contiene molti aspetti. Essa contiene ciò che Dio ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni, le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza. Essa contiene l’atteggiamento di Dio verso ogni genere di persona, come il Suo sentimento di misericordia e di premura, e ancor più la Sua ira verso la ribellione e la resistenza del genere umano. Poiché ognuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il Suo pensiero, la Sua saggezza e le Sue idee, poiché tutte contengono il contesto e la fonte delle Sue parole, poiché esse esprimono tutte naturalmente l’atteggiamento di Dio verso l’umanità, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, per questo è un fatto molto naturale che ogni frase contenga l’indole di Dio. Ogni parola che gli esseri umani dicono esprime la loro indole della vita, dunque ogni parola di Dio non conterrà a maggior ragione la Sua indole? Ciò è facile da comprendere, ma come scoprirlo e conoscerlo non è così semplice come si possa immaginare. Se, quando si leggono le parole di Dio, non si cerca di ponderarle a sufficienza, non ci si sforza abbastanza o non si ha esperienza sufficiente, allora l’indole di Dio non sarà facile da percepire, e ancor meno da capire. Ciò che è necessario, quindi, è che l’uomo si plachi davanti a Dio, che metta interamente il suo cuore nelle Sue parole e che la lettura e il tentativo di ponderarle avvengano durante la preghiera

; allora tu giungerai lentamente a scoprire l’ordine di idee che sta dietro le parole di Dio. Questo è l’inizio dell’ingresso” (La condivisione del Fratello). Quando ho letto questa condivisione tutto mi è diventato chiaro. Mi sono resa conto che l’indole di Dio contiene molte cose: contiene ciò che Egli ha ed è, le Sue riflessioni e le Sue idee, il Suo pensiero e la Sua saggezza, così come il Suo atteggiamento verso ogni genere di persona, e così via. Inoltre, ciascuna delle frasi di Dio contiene il contesto e la fonte di ogni Sua parola, e non c’è una sola frase che sia priva di fondamento, e ogni singola cosa che Dio fa e ogni frase che Egli pronuncia sono una naturale espressione di tutto ciò che Egli è nella vita. La mia comprensione dell’indole di Dio, d’altro canto, era limitata solo a ciò che Egli ama e a ciò che Egli odia. Questo tipo di comprensione era troppo unilaterale e dunque non era in grado di raggiungere una conoscenza dell’indole di Dio partendo da ogni Sua singola frase. Oltre a questo ho capito anche che, se volevo comprendere l’indole di Dio da ogni Sua frase, dovevo placarmi dinanzi a Lui e compiere uno sforzo molto più grande per cercare di capire a fondo le Sue parole. Inoltre, avevo bisogno di pregare e di cercare la guida dinanzi a Dio, focalizzandomi sulla comprensione dello stato d’animo dietro alle parole che Egli aveva pronunciato, così come sul contesto e sulla fonte dietro alle Sue azioni.

Ringrazio Dio per l’illuminazione e la rivelazione che mi hanno permesso di rendermi conto di queste cose e, quindi, in seguito, ho iniziato a focalizzarmi sulla pratica e l’ingresso in questo aspetto. Un giorno ho letto un brano delle parole di Dio: “Se quest’opera sia importante o meno, dipende dai bisogni del genere umano, dalla realtà della sua depravazione, dalla gravità della disobbedienza di Satana e dal suo disturbo dell’opera. Il giusto, cioè colui che è all’altezza del compito, è stabilito in base alla natura della propria opera e all’importanza di quest’opera. Quando si tratta dell’importanza di quest’opera, in termini di quale metodo di lavoro adottare − opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito di Dio, opera compiuta dal Dio incarnato

, o opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo − la prima ad essere eliminata è l’opera compiuta attraverso l’uomo e, in base alla natura dell’opera e alla natura dell’opera dello Spirito rispetto a quella della carne, è infine stato stabilito che l’opera compiuta dalla carne è più benefica all’uomo dell’opera compiuta direttamente dallo Spirito, e offre più vantaggi. Questo è il pensiero di Dio, al momento di decidere se l’opera debba essere compiuta dallo Spirito o dalla carne” (“L’umanità corrotta ha maggiormente bisogno della salvezza del Dio incarnato” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Quando ho cercato con attenzione di comprendere questo brano, ho sentito di aver scoperto un grande dono. Le parole di Dio mostrano lo sviluppo del Suo pensiero in quel momento, mentre rifletteva su quale metodo utilizzare per l’opera degli ultimi giorni. Durante il corso del Suo pensiero, la prima cosa che Dio ha considerato è stata quale metodo usare che fosse di maggiore beneficio per l’uomo in quest’opera, quale fosse il modo migliore per raggiungere l’esito della salvezza dell’uomo e cosa fare per portare Satana ad accettare la sconfitta, vincendolo in tal modo e portando alla salvezza completa le persone che sono state così profondamente danneggiate. Durante l’intero processo di pensiero, Dio ha costantemente tenuto in considerazione l’uomo e mai i Propri interessi o la Propria incolumità. Dio sapeva chiaramente che la Sua incarnazione avrebbe patito molta sofferenza, ma ciò non è stato preso in esame quando si è trattato di salvare l’umanità. Invece, Egli ha scelto comunque il metodo del Dio che Si fa carne per compiere l’opera degli ultimi giorni, basandosi sulle necessità dell’umanità e sulla realtà della depravazione del genere umano. Egli corre un grande pericolo addentrandosi nella tana della tigre; Egli subisce la persecuzione selvaggia e la caccia del gran dragone rosso, sopporta gli abusi e la blasfemia delle varie religioni e confessioni e tollera la resistenza, la ribellione e l’incomprensione di quelli di noi che le seguono. Le ferite e gli attacchi inflitti al cuore di Dio e l’umiliazione che Egli sopporta sono veramente cose che nessuno può comprendere. Tutto ciò che Dio esprime e rivela è tutto quello che Egli è nella vita: la Sua dedizione disinteressata all’umanità e il Suo pagare il prezzo per essa. La grandezza di Dio e il Suo altruismo sono rivelati naturalmente nella Sua opera e in ogni Sua frase, e queste esprimono anche la grande misericordia e l’amore disinteressato di Dio. Il Suo amore per l’umanità non è solo parole vuote, ma un prezzo concreto che Egli paga. In quel momento, ho avuto una vivida percezione che Dio è davvero così grande e così amabile! Quindi, sebbene avessi letto queste parole di Dio in precedenza, non avevo mai capito il contesto dietro le parole che Cristo

aveva pronunciato o tutto ciò che esse rivelavano, né l’amore di Cristo per l’umanità. Solo in quel momento ho avuto un’autentica comprensione di queste parole di Dio: “In ogni frase che ho pronunciato è contenuta l’indole di Dio”.

Prima, poiché non avevo mai quietato il mio cuore o provato seriamente a capire le parole di Dio, avevo perso tante buone opportunità di comprenderLo, al punto che persino oggi ho ancora tante nozioni e fraintendimenti verso di Lui e sono ancora estraniata da Lui. Solo ora comprendo che, se desidero capire l’indole di Dio, devo provare seriamente a capire e a cercare la verità all’interno di ogni Sua frase. In questo modo trarrò certamente un grande beneficio. Da oggi in poi desidero concentrarmi sul porre più impegno nelle Sue parole, e cercare di diventare presto una persona che ha una certa comprensione di Dio.

Documenta From Wikipedia,

The Fridericianum during documenta (13)

documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.

Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.

Etymology of documenta

The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]

Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]

History

Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7

Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.

Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]

Criticism

documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]

Directors

The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]

Venues

documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]

There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.

Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.

A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).

documenta archive

The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.

Management

Visitors

In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung

Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15

"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."

ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.

Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.

The main principles of the process are:

• Providing space to gather and explore ideas

• Collective decision making

• Non-centralization

• Playing between formalities and informalities

• Practicing assembly and meeting points

• Architectural awareness

• Being spatially active to promote conversation

• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas
